yeah mine was metal too. was it matchbox?
It was Dinky :) We also had a Lady Penelope pin k Roller, a couple of Capt. Scarlett vehicles, a James Bond Aston Martin DB5 (complete with firing missile & ejector seat), and a Yellow Submarine with all 4 beatles.
We have none of these anymore, except for parts of some of them.
I think that it'd be a good strategy for parents to buy two of everything like this - one for the kids to destroy & paint the names of their favourite bands on, the other to keep in its original packaging, for selling years later on trademe.

I can find no link to them, but did anyone else see a couple of mimes calling themselves The Fabulous Thunderbirds (not the band), who mimed an entire episode while wearing thunderbirds 1 & 2 hats?
Pretty much the funniest thing I've ever seen in a live theatre.
They did an arts fest some years ago.

I'm...ar, choking up
An emergency! F.A.B. They're on their way!

hmm, Slade eh
Heh. Yes. Saw them in their pomp, in Cardiff 1972. They were supported by then unknowns Suzy Quattro & her band, and Thin Lizzy.
Great concert.

She'd have got Parker to do it for her
And he always looked like one was being done to him.
BTW - you guys, like me, had Thunderbird 2, with Thunderbird 4 inside it.
Mine's a bit beaten up, with "Slade" painted in red on it these days (but painted in 1972), pity, because if pristine, they fetch a lot of money at auction.

BADGERS! We don' need no stinkin' BADGERS!

Word gets around Sonic - even I have been told your real name (Er... it IS Rumplestiltskin?).
And dad4justice's, and Redbaiter's... and it IS tempting to reveal that knowledge sometimes. But ultimately in poor form I think.
Although it makes me think that using real names is a pretty good idea somethimes at least.

Makes me sad I'm leaving Wellington now.
The prospect of badges can do that.

I'm ok with bowling leagues Joanna, just so long as they are angry yet stylish.
There will be uniforms!
And badges.
